The origin dates back to old times from alley craps back in the depression. They used to play craps in alleys and didn’t always use the money, but if they did it using money and they were winning, it meant they could afford chicken for dinner that night. A chicken dinner in Las Vegas used to cost less than $2.00 and the usual bet at that time was $2.00, so when you won you had enough for the chicken dinner. Hence “Winner, winner, chicken dinner!”.

According to SteamSpy, a third-party platform that analyzes data obtained directly from Steam, 55 percent of the overall player-base of PUBG used to actively play the competitive first-person shooter from Valve.
